Good morning. I hope you all had a good weekend. Here in the UK Midlands the weather has been a bit changeable, with wind, rain, sunshine and lots of rainbows!

Today we have some inspiration from Eret who
is sharing two of her favourite creations from the past year. Over to Eret.......................

Here are my two favourite projects from last year.

I chose first one because it was really interesting to figure out how to
put it together and I love the effect from the different embossing powders.
They give a look of worn leather. I always enjoy making flowers and adding them to my project. I shared this suitcase
in June. There are also link to the full instructions and the template.
The best thing about this suitcase is that it can also be used as a
box.

It had to be an easel card. This is my favourite card
fold type. On this card for the first time I used embossing powders to colour the
flowers. They don't look very realistic but I still love the result. It's fun to experiment. You never know what will come out.

Thanks Eret! What great projects! Our Anything Goes challenge runs until 3rd September, so there is plenty of time left to enter.

Good morning to you all, time for our August challenge which is a day early as I am off on my holidays and wanted to make sure it posts OK before I go. We have kept the theme nice and simple as crafty time always seems limited during the holiday months......................

********Anything Goes********

As always you can enter up to three times, combine with other challenges, all we ask is that as our name suggests we do want to see some stamping as a focal element of your work, entries not fitting that requirement may well receive comments from the DT but those entries will not be eligible for the prize and Top 3 spots.
